JAZZ / Highly recommended

He has a tenor saxophone and an interesting pedigree, which is sometimes all you need to be flavour of the month in the contemporary jazz scene. But audiences at Ronnie Scott's last week were convinced that Joshua Redman - son of Dewey Redman, a respected Texan tenorist - is worth the reams of ecstatic reviews. His second album, 'Wish', features the guitarist Pat Metheny and is firmly recommended to those who missed him in London.
